Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 1 1/4 cups chopped garlic scapes
- 1/2 cup walnuts or pine nuts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese optional
- 1/2 cup olive oil
Instructions
- Toast garlic scapes and nuts in a skillet with oil over medium heat stirring constantly for about 5 minutes or until the scapes start to soften. The nuts burn easily so keep stirring!

- As the food processor is running, slowly pour in the oil. Store in containers in the refrigerator. Garlic scape pesto can also be frozen for later use.
